Preparation

Step 1

1. Brown ground beef, onion, and garlic in large skillet. Drain well.

2. Add pasta, tomato sauce, water, oregano, cinnamon, salt and pepper; stir to combine, making sure pasta is covered by liquid. Heat to boiling, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer 11-13 mins, stirring frequently, until orzo is tender.

3. Remove from heat, sprinkle with cheese. Cover and let stand 2-4 mins.

Notes: Really very good. Used diced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce and doubled the recipe to freeze half.
